The eBook is titled "The Value of Virtualization: Making the Case for Your Enterprise." The third chapter, "[ Identity Simplification and Consolidation through Virtualization and Synchronization ]," has just been posted for free download at [ http://www.virtualizationvalue.com ]. Visitors can also download any previous chapters they may have missed.
In this chapter, Agilysys examines the way businesses share a great deal of information with employees, partners and customers -- a fact which raises issues of [ security, data integrity and compliance ] risks. Unfortunately, for many companies identity data is stored in multiple applications, databases and directories, making it inflexible, unreliable and too complex.
The solution may lie in virtualization. [ Virtual directories ], like the virtualization techniques being used to abstract and [ consolidate servers, storage ] and other parts of the IT infrastructure, can address many of the challenges in current [ identity and access management ] (IAM) data stores. Identity information from multiple sources can be combined and structured as needed, providing the flexible views each application or user requires.
This is the third of four eBook chapters, each one addressing various issues and opportunities associated with [ IT virtualization ]. Past chapters have discussed where companies fall on the virtualization-adoption continuum and how virtualization can benefit many facets of the enterprise. The final chapter will take an in-depth look at whether [ desktop virtualization ] can reduce time and costs. Current chapters are available at [ http://www.virtualizationvalue.com ]. The final chapter will also be posted on the site once it has been released.
